Here is an article on UPnP/AV that I find quite informative.

The part I find most interesting is on RemoteUI. Looking at it, it looks like XRT2.1 would be rather easy for our DMA manufacturers to add to the firmware of our DMA's thus allowing us to have GUI's on our devices!

So we just need everone who owns one to email their vendor asking for RemoteUIand suggesting XRT 2.1 support.

So then we'd have a replacement for out MediaMVP's that would support more formats natively.

Ati AIW Radeon using tv out with a television (no moniotor)




I am currently having a problem with the new box i put together. Everything works as advertised except for this one minor thing that is driving me insane. I have a problem with live tv (no timeshift) with a weird focus problem. The problem happens when i watch programming that has little or no movement. Something in the setup is having difficulties dealing with this, and it makes parts of the image appear to jump in and out of focus. This is most prevalent with text, as I notice it the most often during sports games that have a score box in the corner. When the play stops and the camera stops moving, the sharpness of that box jumps all over and it is definately noticable.

I also noticed it with programs that have defined lines, like futurama. it goes from being real sharp to blurred to sharp. I don't know if its a problem with the MPEG decoding with the 500 or what. I've also tried to use different decoders, including the nvidia decoder, no difference. I used different programs and noticed the problem on both GBPBR and MediaPortal. I'm somewhat new to this PVR stuff so i'm not an expert by any means. I played around with the deinterlace settings as well as the hauppauge tweak settings, but i noticed no notable difference. Does anyone have any clue?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Here's my first contribution.

I use a Remote Wonder 2 and I wanted to use the TV button to activate the live TV function of GBPVR. Attached are the two things I needed.

First the atimmc.zip from http://remotew.free.fr/plugins.htm#tvbutton
Follow the instructions (it doesn't specify but put both files into the specified location)

Then put tvbutton.txt into whatever directory you want and change it to tvbutton.vbs.

In the CFG file from the zip file tell it to run

c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe "location of tvbutton.vbs"

(you might need to use progra~1 instead of program files)

This saves me a button and also makes it somewhat more intuitive.

It's also possible to change the DVD button to run a script but I think you have to change the registry.


Jam.z

I can play some .mov files, but when i try and play the files that i have downloaded with the trailor plugin, GBPVR crashes.

Any ideas?

Hi

Do any of these Music plugins - Music Albums, My Music or Music Player use a database inthe way that Winamp Media Library or Windows Media library works, or are all of these plugns dependant on a file structure for music??

Setup: Computer-->5 port switch-->5 port switch-->MediaMVP

I have checked the end connection that would connect to the MVP and I get a fast internet signal. When I plug it into the MVP, it displays "connecting to server" then goes blank.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for any help.

can i use this software with a tv out video card???
thanks for any help.

Sometimes people ask me to transfer a recording to DVD. This is a lot of hassle (copy it to another PC, adjust bitrate, author it, burn it). I was thinking of an "Instant DVD" plugin for GBPVR.

I was thinking of something like:
- select the recording
- adjust bitrate to fit the recording on 1 DVD (if needed)
- insert a blanc DVD
- select "record" and presto, 15 minutes lates the DVD ejects

Any such plugin exists? Or someone wants to develop one?

I have the Hauppauge PVR150 retail. I finally got the Ir blaster set to correctly change the channels on the Samsung box. Now I cannot get the remote working, I have changed batteries and all that with nbo help.
Can someone please help me get this working?

Sub,

I've found a very reproducable bug. When I put live tv into timeshift mode but don't ever pause, live tv and GBPVR hangs when it's time for a program change. For example, I'm watchng "cheers" at 11:00 am, but at 11:30 am GBPVR and live tv hangs - not responsive and black screen. I press CTRL+ALT+DEL and it says that GBPVR is not responding. Shutting down the process and restarting works, but live tv no longer works. I have to do a reboot.

When I actually do pause for a litle bit it transitions between shows fine.

Here are all the logs I've got. I don't know which one to give you. Sorry if it's too big.

(the zip file is actually a rar. Hope it's ok)
